Testing Livecast from Fire Mountain Summer Camp

We are here!!

Sunday, and we are in Fire Mountain Scout Reservation...

Everybody is checked in, ran through the tour, and yay! we didn't have to do our swim check, as we completed it before we arrived at camp. The guys really liked that.



After dinner, there was an ice cream social, chapel, and opening campfire.
Then, off to bed.

This morning, getting folks up was easier than expected, and everyone had breakfast before heading off for the first classes of the day.

I'll add more as we get through it!

Yours in Scouting,

Last minute details and stuff....

We leave for Summer Camp tomorrow!! 

I will need one more signature on Sunday morning, as the forms that we have did not include a permission slip. Please see me when you drop off your boys at the ferry line.

See you in the morning!!

Getting Ready for Fire Mountain!!

I just added the Fire Mountain Scout Camp packing list to the widget on the right hand side of this column (it says Box.net in the lower right hand corner.) The file is called FM_packing_list.pdf If you can't see it, or have trouble opening it, I have copies at The Big Store. I will also bring them to our next meeting.

Be aware! Our next meeting is our last meeting before camp! Come with questions, your physicals, (making sure that the photo release page is signed!) and great camp spirit!

talk to you soon!

Yours in Scouting,

Michael J. Perren

Thank you Dr. Gossam!!

The boys and I would like to thank Dr. Gossam for his patience and generosity for providing free physicals for summer camp this past Friday. Your help is greatly appreciated!

Tuesday night, bring your swim trunks and a towel. We will be going to San Juan Fitness to do our Pre-Camp Swim Checks. (This of course means that we will not have to do them upon our arrival at camp, and can head to our campsite instead! We all know how much fun carrying all our gear to the beach is...)

Yours in Scouting!

The Kayaking Finale, July 4th, and preparation for Summer Camp...

The Kayaking trip to Turn Island went very well. We shaved 30% of our travel time on our return trip (confidence!) and returned most of the gear we had borrowed before the day was out. I will post pictures soon.

In preparation for Summer Camp, we will be having an Scout Free Physical Hour, offered by Dr. Burke Gossam of San Juan Healthcare Associates, on Friday July 3rd from 10:00 to 11:00am. Dr. Gossam has offered, for any and all Scouts who have their new medical forms filled out, to provide free physicals at this time. The new physical is annual, so get it while you can! The form is called new_physical.pdf, in the box.net widget to the right of this column, or you can drop by The Big Store, where I will have additional copies available for anyone who needs them.

We will be meeting at 10:am on Saturday July 4th, across the street from the interesection of Price and Spring streets. (The old Flying Burrito...) The parade starts at 10:30am; Class A uniforms for everyone who has one!!

Yours in Scouting,
